What players say

Players praise the game's surreal, beautiful visuals but are sharply split on everything else. Many call it a boring walking simulator with vague puzzles and frustrating invisible platforms, while others appreciate its abstract atmosphere. Performance issues and crashes, some requiring a hex editor fix, are widely reported.
